   As I said earlier ... some of the developer groups
   have UNSAFE-seeming ways of contributing. It's
   essentially a random web page that wants your CC
   number. Can't tell if it's real, can't tell if
   they, or monitoring Russians, won't rip you off.

   The fix is a PHYSICAL ADDRESS that you can send
   something like a money order to. A MO doesn't
   have any of your bank routing numbers or anything
   on it - so at most you'd lose just THAT amount
   of money and no more.

   Pass it along.
